Bioltif, Yilni Edward | Sase, Terver John | Nehemiah, Tonkum Obadiah "Phytochemical Screening and Review of the Pharmacological Importance of Erythrina Senegalensis" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-4 | Issue-3, April 2020, pp.292-296, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd30350.pdf

The plant Erythrina senegalensis have been observed by the natives to have medicinal values. The present study was carried out to investigate the phytochemicals of the root and pharmacological importance of the plant. The crushed root was subjected to sequential extraction (maceration) by increasing polarity index of solvents (hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol). The methanol extract gave the highest percentage yield (4.28%) followed by Ethylacetate (3.62%) and Hexane (2.48%) was the least in the yield in extraction. All the three solvent extracts were then used for phytochemicals screening test. The phytochemical screening has shown the presence of Flavonoids, alkaloids, anthraquinones, phenols, quinones, steroids, saponins, tannins, terpenoids, Xanthoproteins. All the phytochemiscals were found to be present in atleast one of the extract with Flavonoids, Quinone, Anthraquinones and Xanthoproprotein present in all the three extracts. This result of the phytochemical screening of the root shows why the plant Erythrina senegalensis has such pharmacological importance.
